Butterfly Garden

The Butterfly garden has been established along the Marne River that traverses its way through the Meldanda Farm property. Flowering plants have been selected that provide a food source or act as a host plant for the life cycle of our local butterfly species. Students from Cambrai Area School have created beautiful butterfly mosaics that have been selectively places throughout the garden.

Meldanda Community Bushgardens

The Meldanda Bush Gardens is a joint project between the Meldanda Community group and the Mid Murray Local Action Planning Committee. The project location is on the Meldanda Farm property, located on Bundilla Rd, Cambrai. The project aim is to establish a native garden representing different Mallee communities. The bushgarden will also provide an educational resource for schools and community on the role native plants play in our ecosystems as well as a seed orchard for the propagation of Mallee species. Part of the long term plan will be to have a nursery located on the property to propagate native seedlings for revegetation projects in the region as well as another educational resource.
